This book is a good fit for readers looking for a steamy romance between a strong-willed woman and a powerful billionaire who explore their intense desires while challenging societal expectations.

This book felt really weird. It's like the author went online to find out about all the buzzwords about how "young people" are describing their identities, how they express the way they see the world and threw them around this book making a mockery of them and to try to make the characters "edgy". As confused as Rory supposedly was, I'd expect a twenty-something woman to actually do her research. The author could have just made it easier on herself and just wrote about kinky people doing their stuff without imbuing the story with things she herself apparently does not know enough to comment on.

Tempt Me by Caitlyn Crews is the third book in the filthy rich Billionaire's series. This book did not do it for me at all. Rory was introduced to the lifestyle of a submissive in a rude manner which immediately made me hate Conrad. He was an over the top arrogant a**hole. This one definitely wasn't for me.

This was just an okay read for me. I didn’t feel a connection to either of the characters and I didn’t feel the chemistry I look for in these types of books, this did have a good story though so it did hold my interest.

Conrad has a cleaning service care for his home but has always kept one room locked with specific instructions that no one is to enter that room at any time. Rory is the one that cleans Conrad's home and has always been curious about what was behind the locked door so when she found it unlocked one day she went inside even knowing she wasn't supposed to. No surprise there, lol, anyway what she finds is a shocker because she has never seen anything like it before she has only read about it.....

Conrad has been stung before so he doesn’t do relationships and Rory has never dipped her toes into BDSM. But when Rory stumbles upon Conrad’s dungeon while cleaning his home he’s determined to teach her a lesson, one that she won't soon forget.

This was a quick read that had some very steamy scenes. If you enjoy intro to BDSM stories or Boss/Employee Romances I would recommend this book to you. This is book three in the series but can be read as a standalone which is the way I read it.

Happy Reading!!

**I have voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book for my Blog, Nadine's Obsessed with Books**

These titles are fun and easy reads. During the pandemic it's nice to be able to live in a romantic fantasy.

Tempt Me by Caitlin Crews is the third novel in her sizzling hot BDSM-centered, Filthy Rich Billionaires series, and it's the second novel in the series I've read. If graphic, BDSM sex isn't something you care to read about, opt for a different novel, but in the case of this reader, I couldn't put it down. Although I wish the Harlequin Dare imprint allowed for more length and time to delve more deeply into these characters, as a standalone, intense, and steamy read, this novel gets 4.5 stars from this reader.

Rory Morton moved to Paris and started a home cleaning service for wealthy clients, one of whom lives in a converted church and she's yet to meet him. He left her 6 pages of instructions, one of which was that she was never to enter the one locked room, but Rory is nothing if not curious, and although she's tried the doorknob several times, on this particular day it's unlocked, and she's fascinated when she enters and looks around because what she finds is s a BDSM playroom/dungeon beyond her wildest imaginings. While it scares her, it also turns her on, but when her mysterious, dominant, billionaire client, Conrad Vanderburg, finds her there, things turn very hot, very fast.

In true Dom fashion, Conrad is intrigued by the lovely, brash, smart-mouthed, young woman, who has plenty of questions for him about that room and his lifestyle, and although she puts on her, "You can't shock me, I'm an experienced pansexual" facade, Conrad sees right through her and pegs her as a submissive wannabe, and he wants to be the one to show her the ropes, literally and figuratively. As he ferrets out her secrets, he becomes more and more attracted to her, and even though his cold, silent, Dom persona scares her, she's like a moth to his flame, and flame he does.

Conrad, who we eventually learn has had a broken relationship in his past, has, since then, become a one and done Dominant in the many private Parisian sex clubs he regularly visits, but Rory is different from his usual submissives, and after she challenges him, he gives her her first orgasm with a man, sends her on her way, and he assumes she'll now look elsewhere, but he is shocked when she shows up at his door, weeks later, asking for "more." After giving Rory his version of the beginner's guide to BDSM, that's exactly what he gives her, a lot more, so have your air conditioner setting turn up to "high" because you're going to need it.

My only issue with this novel is that it's brevity makes it necessary for this story to be an insta-love romance, because we're left wondering what else these two characters have in common to build a relationship upon, or what they see in each other beyond their affinity for hot BDSM sex. Yes, there's an HEA ending, as expected in any romance novel, but Rory wasn't the only one who wanted more--so did this reader.

Caitlin Crews is an extremely talented and intelligent writer, but as I stated after reading and reviewing the first novel in this series, I believe her talents would be much better served by a lengthier format, which would give her fans (and I'm one of them), a more deeply explored look at her characters, their past history, and why they are so drawn to one another so quickly. Nevertheless, this was still a sexy, engrossing read, and I'm happy to recommend it.

3.5 stars
Tempt Me by Caitlin Crews was an extremely steamy BDSM romance, but didn't completely wow me. Rory is a house cleaner living in Paris. She cleans one house that has a locked room she has never been allowed in. One day, it's left open and she discovers it's a room full of BDSM devices and equipment. She's caught by the owner, Conrad, whom she has an immediate attraction to. Rory knows she should feel creeped out by the room, but instead she's intrigued. Conrad is a wealthy business mogul and can't believe that a woman he doesn't know is in his room. They have a steamy encounter and then part ways. But neither can forget what occurred. Rory is drawn to Conrad and his world of BDSM and dominance and submission. She decides to try one last time to visit him. I really liked the BDSM aspects of this book. It was very informative and Conrad explained everything to Rory, who was a complete newbie. While this was a short read, some of the descriptions of what occurred and the characters' internal thoughts were so long and could become boring. I loved the scene Rory and Conrad did the second time they met, but then that was it. There wasn't any more steaminess. The insta-love I didn't quite understand because this was mostly focused on their physical connection. But I don't know how much of an emotional connection one can easily make in the BDSM world. Overall, I really liked this steamy BDSM romance, but certain scenes could lag on at times and the ending was quite rushed.

I usually like Caitlin Crews novels but really couldn't get into this one. I didn't care for either of the characters or the story line. Conrad seems to be bored with the women he picks up at the club who know how to be submissive. He is fascinated when Rory, his new part time maid, gives him attitude after she discovers his "special" room. Determined to teach her to submit to him they embark on a strange relationship. Not for me.

Well, that started out innocuously enough and then went to full on hotness! It didn’t let up, and kept that rolling boiling heat cranked all the way up, only leaving us to simmer a little bit, before putting back up to full kelvins again. Yeah, it was that hot, but it also had a very strong emotional attraction as well. The inner dialogues of Conrad and Rory, as well as the snappy dialogue between them, showed so much of the heart and soul of the characters. Definitely opposites attract, and definitely instant attraction, and no room for lies or pity, these two were a joy to read about and will have you squirming in your seat in all the right ways!

Moving away from family is one thing but moving out of the country is a whole other level. Rorys friends have married and moved now she wants to find her happiness and creating her own business in Paris seems to be it. She has rich clients and loves her job until one locked door leads her down a whole new path.

Conrad is controlled, rich, and a loner. He likes things the way he does and finding an American in his locked room is not high on things he wants. What should have sent her on her way instead leads both of them On a journey of discovering what they truly want.

Can they compromise and fit together or will their searing chemistry burn them?

Liked this one a lot and it was very enjoyable.

Conrad and Rory were very sexy. I absolutely love Caitlin Crews stories and could not wait to jump on this. I enjoyed the dominant/ submissive role between Conrad and Rory and the power dynamic between them. Overall, this story was erotic and swoony and I for one was all about it.

Rory does cleaning as an art. She posts her every move and action as she goes through life. Enter Conrad. A super rich guy that doesn't like his privacy infringed upon. HE catches her snooping and snapping photos. They clash. However, the attraction can not seem to be ignored. Conrad introduces Rory to a world she didn't know existed.

ARC received for review

Well it's time for big brother from book one Teach Me: A Sexy Billionaire Romance to get his chance at love. I called it from the epilogue in book one that he wouldn't stay with his then fiancee.

Conrad is bossy, over-the-top dom with no boundaries. I didn't like him. Rory has almost no experience (other than what she's read online) about the lifestyle. She calls herself a pansexual and other weird words I've never heard. Their relationship was just weird. It's on then two weeks pass with nothing. Then on and another two weeks with nothing. I just didn't care for it. It was nice to see his sister and BFF from book one.
